Famous quotes containing the words picture and/or postcard:
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“What goes by the name of love is banishment, with now and then a postcard from the homeland, such is my considered opinion, this evening.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
